BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to an optical imaging lens set. Specifically speaking, the present invention is directed to a shorter optical imaging lens set of six lens elements for use in mobile phones, in cameras, in tablet personal computers, in in-car cameras, or in personal digital assistants (PDA).

2. Description of the Prior Art

In recent years, the popularity of mobile phones and digital cameras makes the sizes of various portable electronic products reduce quickly, and so does those of the photography modules. The current trend of research is to develop an optical imaging lens set of a shorter length with uncompromised good quality. With the development and shrinkage of a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor element (CMOS), the optical imaging lens set installed in the photography module shrinks as well to meet the demands. However, good and necessary optical properties, such as the system aberration improvement, as well as production cost and production feasibility should be taken into consideration, too.

The specifications of portable electronic products develop quickly, so does the key component—the photography modules. In addition to taking pictures and doing video recording, they may be used to do environmental surveillance or to serve as dashboard cameras. The demand not only for better quality but also for dim light background, larger field of view and smaller lens set space is getting higher and higher so there is a need for a lens set of better image quality and smaller size.

The designing of the optical lens is not just scaling down the optical lens which has good optical performance, but also needs to consider the material characteristics and satisfy some practical requirements like assembly yield. Therefore, how to reduce the total length of a photographic device, but still maintain good optical performance under dim light background, is an important objective to research.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Before the detailed description of the present invention, the first thing to be noticed is that in the present invention, similar (not necessarily identical) elements are labeled as the same numeral references. In the entire present specification, “a certain lens element has negative/positive refractive power” refers to the part in a vicinity of the optical axis of the lens element has negative/positive refractive power calculated by Gaussian optical theory. An object-side/image-side surface refers to the region which allows imaging light passing through, in the drawing, imaging light includes Lc (chief ray) and Lm (marginal ray). As shown in FIG. 1, the optical axis is “I” and the lens element is symmetrical with respect to the optical axis I. The region A that near the optical axis and for light to pass through is the region in a vicinity of the optical axis, and the region C that the marginal ray passing through is the region in a vicinity of a certain lens element's circular periphery. In addition, the lens element may include an extension part E for the lens element to be installed in an optical imaging lens set (that is the region outside the region C perpendicular to the optical axis). Ideally speaking, no light would pass through the extension part, and the actual structure and shape of the extension part is not limited to this and may have other variations. For the reason of simplicity, the extension part is not illustrated in the following examples. More, precisely, the method for determining the surface shapes or the region in a vicinity of the optical axis, the region in a vicinity of its circular periphery and other regions is described in the following paragraphs:

1. FIG. 1 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element. Before determining boundaries of those aforesaid portions, two referential points should be defined first, middle point and conversion point. The middle point of a surface of a lens element is a point of intersection of that surface and the optical axis. The conversion point is a point on a surface of a lens element, where the tangent line of that point is perpendicular to the optical axis. Additionally, if multiple conversion points appear on one single surface, then these conversion points are sequentially named along the radial direction of the surface with numbers starting from the first conversion point. For instance, the first conversion point (closest one to the optical axis), the second conversion point, and the N^(th) conversion point (farthest one to the optical axis within the scope of the clear aperture of the surface). The portion of a surface of the lens element between the middle point and the first conversion point is defined as the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis. The portion located radially outside of the N^(th) conversion point (but still within the scope of the clear aperture) is defined as the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. In some embodiments, there are other portions existing between the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element; the numbers of portions depend on the numbers of the conversion point(s). In addition, the radius of the clear aperture (or a so-called effective radius) of a surface is defined as the radial distance from the optical axis I to a point of intersection of the marginal ray Lm and the surface of the lens element. 2. Referring to FIG. 2, determining the shape of a portion is convex or concave depends on whether a collimated ray passing through that portion converges or diverges. That is, while applying a collimated ray to a portion to be determined in terms of shape, the collimated ray passing through that portion will be bended and the ray itself or its extension line will eventually meet the optical axis. The shape of that portion can be determined by whether the ray or its extension line meets (intersects) the optical axis (focal point) at the object-side or image-side. For instance, if the ray itself intersects the optical axis at the image side of the lens element after passing through a portion, i.e. the focal point of this ray is at the image side (see point R in FIG. 2), the portion will be determined as having a convex shape. On the contrary, if the ray diverges after passing through a portion, the extension line of the ray intersects the optical axis at the object side of the lens element, i.e. the focal point of the ray is at the object side (see point M in FIG. 2), that portion will be determined as having a concave shape. Therefore, referring to FIG. 2, the portion between the middle point and the first conversion point has a convex shape, the portion located radially outside of the first conversion point has a concave shape, and the first conversion point is the point where the portion having a convex shape changes to the portion having a concave shape, namely the border of two adjacent portions. Alternatively, there is another common way for a person with ordinary skill in the art to tell whether a portion in a vicinity of the optical axis has a convex or concave shape by referring to the sign of an “R” value, which is the (paraxial) radius of curvature of a lens surface. The R value is commonly used in conventional optical design software such as Zemax and CodeV. The R value usually appears in the lens data sheet in the software. For an object-side surface, positive R means that the object-side surface is convex, and negative R means that the object-side surface is concave. Conversely, for an image-side surface, positive R means that the image-side surface is concave, and negative R means that the image-side surface is convex. The result found by using this method should be consistent as by using the other way mentioned above, which determines surface shapes by referring to whether the focal point of a collimated ray is at the object side or the image side. 3. For none conversion point cases, the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis is defined as the portion between 0˜50% of the effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) of the surface, whereas the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is defined as the portion between 50˜100% of effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) of the surface.

Referring to the first example depicted in FIG. 3, only one conversion point, namely a first conversion point, appears within the clear aperture of the image-side surface of the lens element. Portion I is a portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and portion II is a portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis is determined as having a concave surface due to the R value at the image-side surface of the lens element is positive. The shape of the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is different from that of the radially inner adjacent portion, i.e. the shape of the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is different from the shape of the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis; the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element has a convex shape.

Referring to the second example depicted in FIG. 4, a first conversion point and a second conversion point exist on the object-side surface (within the clear aperture) of a lens element. In which portion I is the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and portion III is the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis has a convex shape because the R value at the object-side surface of the lens element is positive. The portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element (portion III) has a convex shape. What is more, there is another portion having a concave shape existing between the first and second conversion point (portion II).

Referring to a third example depicted in FIG. 5, no conversion point exists on the object-side surface of the lens element. In this case, the portion between 0˜50% of the effective radius (radius of the clear aperture) is determined as the portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and the portion between 50˜100% of the effective radius is determined as the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element. The portion in a vicinity of the optical axis of the object-side surface of the lens element is determined as having a convex shape due to its positive R value, and the portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the lens element is determined as having a convex shape as well.

As shown in FIG. 6, the optical imaging lens set 1 of six lens elements of the present invention, sequentially located from an object side 2 (where an object is located) to an image side 3 along an optical axis 4, has an aperture stop (ape. stop) 80, a first lens element 10, a second lens element 20, a third lens element 30, a fourth lens element 40, a fifth lens element 50, a sixth lens element 60, a filter 70 and an image plane 71. Generally speaking, the first lens element 10, the second lens element 20, the third lens element 30, the fourth lens element 40, the fifth lens element 50 and the sixth lens element 60 may be made of a transparent plastic material but the present invention is not limited to this and each has an appropriate refractive power. There are exclusively six lens elements, which means the first lens element 10, the second lens element 20, the third lens element 30, the fourth lens element 40, the fifth lens element 50 and the sixth lens element 60, with refractive power in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention. The optical axis 4 is the optical axis of the entire optical imaging lens set 1, and the optical axis of each of the lens elements coincides with the optical axis of the optical imaging lens set 1.

Furthermore, the optical imaging lens set 1 includes an aperture stop (ape. stop) 80 disposed in an appropriate position. In FIG. 6, the aperture stop 80 is disposed between the object side 2 and the first lens element 10. When light emitted or reflected by an object (not shown) which is located at the object side 2 enters the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention, it forms a clear and sharp image on the image plane 71 at the image side 3 after passing through the aperture stop 80, the first lens element 10, the second lens element 20, the third lens element 30, the fourth lens element 40, the fifth lens element 50, the sixth lens element 60 and the filter 70. In one embodiments of the present invention, the optional filter 70 may be a filter of various suitable functions, for example, the filter 70 may be an infrared cut filter (IR cut filter), placed between the image-side surface 62 of the sixth lens element 60 and the image plane 71.

Each lens element in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention has an object-side surface facing toward the object side 2 as well as an image-side surface facing toward the image side 3. For example, the first lens element 10 has a first object-side surface 11 and a first image-side surface 12; the second lens element 20 has a second object-side surface 21 and a second image-side surface 22; the third lens element 30 has a third object-side surface 31 and a third image-side surface 32; the fourth lens element 40 has a fourth object-side surface 41 and a fourth image-side surface 42; the fifth lens element 50 has a fifth object-side surface 51 and a fifth image-side surface 52; the sixth lens element 60 has a sixth object-side surface 61 and a sixth image-side surface 62. In addition, each object-side surface and image-side surface in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention has a part (or portion) in a vicinity of its circular periphery (circular periphery part) away from the optical axis 4 as well as a part in a vicinity of the optical axis (optical axis part) close to the optical axis 4.

Each lens element in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention further has a central thickness T on the optical axis 4. For example, the first lens element 10 has a first lens element thickness T₁, the second lens element 20 has a second lens element thickness T₂, the third lens element 30 has a third lens element thickness T₃, the fourth lens element 40 has a fourth lens element thickness T₄, the fifth lens element 50 has a fifth lens element thickness T₅, the sixth lens element 60 has a sixth lens element thickness T₆. Therefore, the total thickness of all the lens elements in the optical imaging lens set 1 along the optical axis 4 is ALT=T₁+T₂+T₃+T₄+T₅+T₆.

In addition, between two adjacent lens elements in the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention there is an air gap along the optical axis 4. For example, an air gap G₁₂ is disposed between the first lens element 10 and the second lens element 20, an air gap G₂₃ is disposed between the second lens element 20 and the third lens element 30, an air gap G₃₄ is disposed between the third lens element 30 and the fourth lens element 40, an air gap G₄₅ is disposed between the fourth lens element 40 and the fifth lens element 50 as well as an air gap G₅₆ is disposed between the fifth lens element 50 and the sixth lens element 60. Therefore, the sum of total five air gaps between adjacent lens elements from the first lens element 10 to the sixth lens element 60 along the optical axis 4 is AAG=G₁₂+G₂₃+G₃₄+G₄₅+G₅₆.

In addition, the distance between the first object-side surface 11 of the first lens element 10 to the image plane 71, namely the total length of the optical imaging lens set along the optical axis 4 is TTL; the effective focal length of the optical imaging lens set is EFL; the distance between the sixth image-side surface 62 of the sixth lens element 60 to the image plane 71 along the optical axis 4 is BFL.

Furthermore, the focal length of the first lens element 10 is f1; the focal length of the second lens element 20 is f2; the focal length of the third lens element 30 is f3; the focal length of the fourth lens element 40 is f4; the focal length of the fifth lens element 50 is f5; the focal length of the sixth lens element 60 is f6; the refractive index of the first lens element 10 is n1; the refractive index of the second lens element 20 is n2; the refractive index of the third lens element 30 is n3; the refractive index of the fourth lens element 40 is n4; the refractive index of the fifth lens element 50 is n5; the refractive index of the sixth lens element 60 is n6; the Abbe number of the first lens element 10 is ν1; the Abbe number of the second lens element 20 is ν2; the Abbe number of the third lens element 30 is ν3; and the Abbe number of the fourth lens element 40 is ν4; the Abbe number of the fifth lens element 50 is ν5; and the Abbe number of the sixth lens element 60 is ν6.

Therefore, BFL=G6F+TF+GFP.

In the light of the above examples, the inventors observe at least the following features:

1. The first lens element with the refractive power along with the second image-side surface with a concave part in a vicinity of its circular periphery helps correct the aberration of the first lens element more easily. The third object-side surface with a convex part in the vicinity of the optical axis and a concave part in a vicinity of its circular periphery along with the fourth image-side surface with a convex part in the vicinity of the optical axis help correct the aberration of the two previous lens elements. The positive refractive power of the fifth lens element with the fifth object-side surface of a convex part in the vicinity of the optical axis and the fifth image-side surface with a concave part in the vicinity of the optical axis helps adjust the aberration of the four previous lens elements. The sixth object-side surface with a convex part in the vicinity of the optical axis and with a convex part in a vicinity of its circular periphery helps correct the aberration of the five previous lens elements. 2. At least one of the aspheric object-side surface as well as the aspheric image-side surface from the first lens element to the fourth lens element helps correct the collective comatic aberration, astigmatism, field curvature, distortion and off-axis chromatic aberration of the optical imaging lens set. The aspheric object-side surface as well as the aspheric image-side surface of both the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element helps correct the main comatic aberration, astigmatism, field curvature, distortion and off-axis chromatic aberration. The parameters such as lens shape, lens thickness and air gap involve the positioning of the aperture stop and the parameters depend on the optical features and length of the optical imaging lens set. For example, the refractive power of the first lens element effectively increases the positive refractive power of the optical imaging lens set. It goes with the aperture stop positioned in front of the first object-side surface to increase the aperture stop available and to lower the F number so the positioning of the aperture stop is significant.

In addition, the inventors discover that there are some better ratio ranges for different data according to the above various important ratios. Better ratio ranges help the designers to design a better optical performance and an effectively reduce length of a practically possible optical imaging lens set. For example: 1. The ratio of (T₁+T₂+T₃+T₄)/T₆≤4.0 helps increase the thickness of the sixth lens element to facilitate the correction of the aberration of the four previous lens elements and to restrict the thickness of the sixth lens element without being too small in order to increase the yield. Preferably, the ratio of 2.6≤(T₁+T₂+T₃+T₄)/T₆≤4.0 makes the thickness of the previous four lens element not so small to lower the yield or the thickness of the sixth lens element so great to increase the TTL.

2. The ratio of (T₃+T₆)/T₁≤1.9 is suggested to increase the thickness of the first lens element so that the thickness is not too small and it helps the light meet at a point after passing through the aperture stop. Preferably, the ratio of 0.8≤(T₃+T₆)/T₁≤1.9 makes the thickness of the third and sixth lens element not so small to lower the yield or the thickness of the first lens element so great to increase the TTL. 3. The ratio of (T₃+T₆)/T₅≤2.1 is suggested to increase the thickness of the fifth lens element so that the thickness is not too small and it helps correct the aberration of the previous four lens elements. Preferably, the ratio of 0.8≤(T₃+T₆)/T₅≤2.1 makes the thickness of the third and sixth lens element not so small to lower the yield or the thickness of the fifth lens element so great to increase the TTL. 4. The ratio of (T₃+T₆)/T₂≤3.8 is suggested to make the thickness of the second lens element not so small in order to increase the yield. Preferably, the ratio of 2.3≤(T₃+T₆)/T₂≤3.8 makes the thickness of the third and sixth lens element not so small to lower the yield or the thickness of the second lens element so great to decrease the negative refractive power. 5. The ratio parameters of (T₃+T₆)/G₁₂≤8.0, (T₃+T₆)/G₃₄≤2.8, (T₃+T₆)/G₅₆≤3.3, (T₃+T₆)/(G₁₂+G₂₃)≤1.8, (T₃+T₆)/(G₂₃+G₅₆)≤1.4, (T₄+T₆)/G₁₂≤5.5, (T₄+T₆)/G₂₃≤1.8, (T₄+T₆)/G₃₄≤1.8, (T₄+T₆)/G₅₆≤2.5, T₃/G₁₂≤2.9, T₄/G₁₂≤2.6, T₅/G₁₂≤3.6, and T₆/G₁₂≤2.7, they are preferably 3.0≤(T₃+T₆)/G₁₂≤8.0, 1.6≤(T₃+T₆)/G₃₄≤2.8, 1.8≤(T₃+T₆)/G₅₆≤3.3, 0.9≤(T₃+T₆)/(G₁₂+G₂₃)≤1.8, 0.7≤(T₃+T₆)/(G₂₃+G₅₆)≤1.4, 1.2≤(T₄+T₆)/G₁₂≤5.5, 1.0≤(T₄+T₆)/G₂₃≤1.8, 0.6≤(T₄+T₆)/G₃₄≤1.8, 1.15≤(T₄+T₆)/G₅₆≤2.5, 2.35≤T₃/G₁₂≤2.9, 0.5≤T₄/G₁₂≤2.6, 1.7≤T₅/G₁₂≤3.6, and 0.6≤T₆/G₁₂≤2.7 in order to keep each thickness and each air gap within a proper range so that any parameter is not so great to compromise the TTL. Or alternatively, any parameter is not so small to compromise the assembly of the optical imaging lens set.

In the light of the unpredictability of the optical imaging lens set, the present invention suggests the above principles. The accordance of the principles preferably helps decrease the TTL, increase the aperture stop available, increase the HFOV, increase the imaging quality and increase the yield of the assembling to overcome the drawbacks of prior art. The above limitations may be properly combined at the discretion of persons who practice the present invention and they are not limited as shown above.

The optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention may be applied to an electronic device, such as mobile phones or driving recorders. Please refer to FIG. 22. FIG. 22 illustrates a first preferred example of the optical imaging lens set 1 of the present invention for use in a portable electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 includes a case 110, and an image module 120 mounted in the case 110. A driving recorder is illustrated in FIG. 22 as an example, but the electronic device 100 is not limited to a driving recorder.

As shown in FIG. 22, the image module 120 includes the optical imaging lens set 1 as described above. FIG. 22 illustrates the aforementioned first example of the optical imaging lens set 1. In addition, the portable electronic device 100 also contains a barrel 130 for the installation of the optical imaging lens set 1, a module housing unit 140 for the installation of the barrel 130, a substrate 172 for the installation of the module housing unit 140 and an image sensor 72 disposed at the substrate 172, and at the image side 3 of the optical imaging lens set 1. The image sensor 72 in the optical imaging lens set 1 may be an electronic photosensitive element, such as a charge coupled device or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor element. The image plane 71 forms at the image sensor 72.

The image sensor 72 used here is a product of chip on board (COB) package rather than a product of the conventional chip scale package (CSP) so it is directly attached to the substrate 172, and protective glass is not needed in front of the image sensor 72 in the optical imaging lens set 1, but the present invention is not limited to this.

To be noticed in particular, the optional filter 70 may be omitted in other examples although the optional filter 70 is present in this example. The case 110, the barrel 130, and/or the module housing unit 140 may be a single element or consist of a plurality of elements, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Each one of the six lens elements 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 with refractive power is installed in the barrel 130 with air gaps disposed between two adjacent lens elements in an exemplary way. The module housing unit 140 has a lens element housing 141, and an image sensor housing 146 installed between the lens element housing 141 and the image sensor 72. However in other examples, the image sensor housing 146 is optional. The barrel 130 is installed coaxially along with the lens element housing 141 along the axis I-I′, and the barrel 130 is provided inside of the lens element housing 141.

Please also refer to FIG. 23 for another application of the aforementioned optical imaging lens set 1 in a portable electronic device 200 in the second preferred example. The main differences between the portable electronic device 200 in the second preferred example and the portable electronic device 100 in the first preferred example are: the lens element housing 141 has a first seat element 142, a second seat element 143, a coil 144 and a magnetic component 145. The first seat element 142 is for the installation of the barrel 130, exteriorly attached to the barrel 130 and disposed along the axis I-I′. The second seat element 143 is disposed along the axis I-I′ and surrounds the exterior of the first seat element 142. The coil 144 is provided between the outside of the first seat element 142 and the inside of the second seat element 143. The magnetic component 145 is disposed between the outside of the coil 144 and the inside of the second seat element 143.

The first seat element 142 may pull the barrel 130 and the optical imaging lens set 1 which is disposed inside of the barrel 130 to move along the axis I-I′, namely the optical axis 4 in FIG. 6. The image sensor housing 146 is attached to the second seat element 143. The filter 70, such as an infrared filter, is installed at the image sensor housing 146. Other details of the portable electronic device 200 in the second preferred example are similar to those of the portable electronic device 100 in the first preferred example so they are not elaborated again.
